Reviewer scorecard
“The free tier is absurdly generous and the cold starts are essentially zero. For APIs, middleware, and edge logic, nothing else gives you this performance at this price.”
“4x the compute per dollar compared to AWS. European data centers for GDPR compliance. The best value in cloud computing.”
“The Worker runtime has limitations — no Node.js stdlib, size limits, CPU time limits. Know the constraints. But for what it does well, it's unbeatable.”
“Unbeatable pricing if you can manage your own infrastructure. Not for teams that need managed services.”
“Cloudflare is building the programmable internet. Workers + D1 + R2 + AI = a complete platform that runs at the edge. They're quietly becoming the default infrastructure layer.”
“As cloud bills become a board-level concern, Hetzner's value proposition becomes more compelling every quarter.”
